INTRODUCTION
4.1
PURPOSE
This chapter provides a general description of CMi4160. In the next-coming sections you will learn

APPLICATION DESCRIPTION
CMi4160 is a cost-effective meter connectivity module mounted in a Diehl SHARKY heat meter. It uses
a very energy-efficient scheme to deliver meter data to a receiving (application) server over a
LoRaWAN
®
network. Meter data is securely transmitted, using LoRaWAN
®
end-to-end security
scheme. CMi4160 can be retrofitted into already deployed meters or mounted in the meter before
deployment.

PRODUCT FEATURES
CMi4160 has the capability to offer a combination of battery operation with very long lifetime and a
versatile application through its many configuration options. Key features of the module include:
Extensive battery lifetime
The module’s EcoMode feature enables the module to achieve a battery-lifetime of at least 11+1
years.
No meter installation needed
As soon as the meter connectivity module has been mounted in the meter and activated, it will
join the LoRaWAN
®
network and start to deliver meter data, i.e. no guide steps need to be
taken in order to install the product in the meter.
Easy and secure commissioning
With Elvaco’s One-Touch Commissioning (OTC), deployment, configuration and key transferring
can be performed in a secure and flexible way. Use the Elvaco OTC App to enter your desired
settings and place your phone next to the meter. New settings will be applied via NFC.
A unique and flexible message scheme
CMi4160 has several different message formats to choose from. This makes it easy to customize
the product to the unique demands of each application.
